Adding pictureframe to the Fonera 2
Description
- The La Fonera 2 can only display info from a "webinterface" (lan/wan/wifi).
- Using a Lowbudget lcd screen on USB we want to be able to display more info.
Resources
- For 9,95 euro you can get a TomTec Keychain in a Bart Smits (Netherlands, Belgium
1,5inch color lcd screen Display: 128X128, 16bit, PCF8833 compatible Controller: According to Jorik, a st2203u. Supported by st2205tool (v1.2): Completely Memory Size 2mb
How To
Making the Lcd screen accept future updates
- Get Phack v1.4 tool (linux)
- connect your device and put it in "update" mode, check with logread which sdX it got and replace X with a,b,c,d,e...
sudo ./hackfw /dev/sdx
- It should show you text/pictures -> it's hacked :-)
Making an lcd4linux package for the Fonera 2
- Compile an lcd4linux with support for the ST2505 chipset ===
svn co http://svn.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/trunk trunk cd trunk chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh cd openwrt ./scripts/feeds update -a packages ./scripts/feeds install -a lcd4linux ./scripts/feeds install -a st2205tool make menuconfig go to libraries and select as Module : st2205tool exit go to utilities and select as Module : LCD4LINUX; click on it Now add ST2205 display support, add all interesting widgets/plugins exit make V=99 locate the lcd4linux package in /fon-ng/trunk/openwrt/bin/packages/mips
Installing lcd4linux package on the Fonera 2
- pscp it to your fonera
pscp -scp lcd4linux.ipk root@192.168.10.1:/tmp
- ssh to your fonera and install it
ssh root@192.168.10.1 cd /tmp opkg install lcd4linux.ipk
- now find & edit the correct /etc/lcd4linux.conf an example is to be found in the Phack 1.4.1 archive
vi /etc/lcd4linux.conf
Getting it working
- hmm...
Mplayer
- Phack 1.4.1 archive also explains how to get mplayer to support it... want to play tamagotchi like 13fps animations of incoming mail? :-)
